New Braunfels 17, Johnson 7, final

Kind of a drab game, but the Unicorns couldn’t be happier with the result, which sets them up to clinch a District 26-5A playoff berth with a home victory next week over MacArthur.

Johnson coach Ron Rittimann didn’t know if the Jaguars were officially eliminated. Without having examined all the tie-breakers, and there are many, it looks like the best they can hope for are losses by New Braunfels and Roosevelt, which would create a massive four-way tie between those three schools and MacArthur.

Should they miss out, they still exceeded most expectations by a wide margin by going 5-5 in their second varsity season.

Not an overwhelming performance by the Unicorns, but they’re in control thanks to Jeremy Garcia’s 3-yard TD run and John Simmons’ 20-yard scoring hookup with Matt Schmid. They’re also playing well defensively, forcing as many punts (four) as they’ve allowed first downs.

Johnson is out. If SV beats TR and Mac beats NB, then there is a four-way tie between NB, JHS, TR, and Mac at 4-4 for the last playoff berth. In this scenario, NB and JHS are both 2-1 against the other teams in the tie, and TR and Mac would be 1-2 against the other teams in the tie. So, if the district goes by head-to-head as first tie-breaker, that eliminates TR and Mac. That leaves NB and JHS… and NB beat JHS tonight.
